For those who care, I'm back.
My absence wasn't related to Wikimedia. It was about first world problems, which hit me quite hard. I never thought that the transition from the second to the first world problems would be painful. Few years ago I'd have called it "decadence".
So, lesson learned.
Anyway, I thought that I would see something completely different here and was worried a bit about my ability to adapt. But, I see that everything is as it was. Good old heated debates. And known [virtual] faces :D
I feel I am home again :)

Welcome back Milos!
I knew this day would come, and I look forward to meeting you again and discussing language, philosophy and Wiki stuff.

This is obviously connected to the fact that tonight I drank the bottle of Jelen Pivo that I brought back from Belgrade!

Hope all is well with you now.

Thank to all for welcome :)
I am good. It was nothing which good introspection, some formal education and rational thinking wasn't able to solve. Besides that, I was better at the time when I decided to leave Wikimedia for a while. That was the product of rational decision.
Andy, Serbian beer is like English wine: it exists, it's consisted of ethanol -- among the other things --, you can drink it without serious consequences to your health, but it's not for hoarding :P Rakija is the right Serbian product. Do you remember drinking it in Pristina? Or not? :P
David, yes, I thought the same :) Just didn't know when.
Nathan, the fact that I stopped contributing to this list doesn't mean that I suddenly stopped being attention whore ;)
And now it's time for plans. Although I am willing to do everything, I have to limit my enthusiasm not to be overwhelmed again. So, small steps:
* I'm de facto in charge for Wikimedia Serbia microgrant projects. Searching for new Wikimedians locally. * Coming back to the Language committee. There are 3000 languages which Wikimedia could save.

If you do it the right way, you shouldn't remember the former.
Anyway, let me jump on the "welcome back" bandwagon. As someone already said in your goodbye email, even while you temporarily left, it's impossible to stop being a WikiMedian. Welcome back to active duty.

True, the only way how Serbs are getting really drunk. It has to be about the strength of rakija made by someone else, not necessarily of other ethnicity.
But it was not the case with Andy. He was just regularly unprepared Northerner, thinking that he's drinking whiskey or vodka. Nobody else complained about the effects of rakija :)

I had some Raki Rrushi in Prishtina: http://aharoni.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/wikiacademy-kosovo-2014-or-this-isra...
I also some Macedonian beer there, which was not bad at all.
